I am using Liferay 6.2 EE sp7 Tomcat bundle on Linux.
We have a use case for the normal regular users to upload, check in and out documents from the document and media portlet.
I see the Checkout and Check in options when I am logged in as a administrator but not as a regular user who is a site member with default permissions.
Question: Is there a way to turn on the Check out/in options for the regular users either with configuration via properties file or permssions etc.?
Steps I took:
As an administrator:
Create a site with private pages only.
create a private page and add document and media portlet and a document and media display portlet to the page.
- create a folder in the site.
- upload couple of documents to the new folder.
- You will be able to see the checkout option after clicking on the document you just uploaded in either of the portlets (see screen shot)
- Add a regular user(non admin) and make a site member of the private site.
In a different browser:
- login as the regular user and navigate the private page/site created above.
- click into the folder/file uploaded above.
- the Check out option is not present.
I have researched portal properties, portlet permissions and the configuration option of the portlets above. I don't see anything that is hopeful or that works.
Please let me know if there is a work around or configuration I need to do turn this on.
Thanks a lot for the insight!
